    Steam-cleaning a horse??!

    I think/ hope people mean the warm pressure washers. I know someone who has made one like the one you can buy. I washed mine there and he loved it, it is heated with a gas bottle. I know that people who show holsteins call it a steam cleaner but it is a warm pressure washer.

    Help with canter transition!

    The other thing that my new instructor pointed out was that I had built it up into such an issue that I was tensing and taking a big breath and holding it which was then making me bounce through the transition.

    Help with canter transition!

    Nothing to add really but just wanted to say that I have the exact same problem, I was working through it but I haven't ridden for 10 weeks since a car accident and now I'm really worried that I'll be back at the beginning. I changed instructors and was really working on my sitting trot as he...

    WWYD - veterinary nurse self diagnosing and giving drugs

    Yes I agree that the vet was wrong to prescribe drugs to a horse that has not been seen. Perhaps I am wrong but the vets I worked with said that it could be longer as long as they could explain (can't think of the right word here) their decision should they have to but they could be quite old...

    WWYD - veterinary nurse self diagnosing and giving drugs

    Sorry, just realised I didn't respond to the point of the thread! In this case that the vet can not have been told the full details of the injury, do you think that she would play it down? When I worked at a veterinary practice thevets wwould have prescribed me abs and bute with out seeing the...

    WWYD - veterinary nurse self diagnosing and giving drugs

    Just as an aside, the 6 month thing is not a legal requirement but a guideline. I think the law is a reasonable amount of time but the rcvs guideline is 6 months but depending on the situation and the drugs involved it can be longer or shorter.

    Greyhound attack... Am I being unreasonable?

    Poor you and poor cat :( how lucky (although not the right word, I know) that you woke up and got down there whilst they were still there. I don't think you are wrong to feel like that and I imagine that you were feeling pretty shook up too. Hopefully it will have made them realise what they...

    Help, our Weimaraner doesn't like small children

    I don't think people are saying thatthe dog will be a big risk to others but with rescues the way that they are a older dog with a possible problem really isn't going to be at the top of the list to be rehomed. I really don't think it would be fair to this dog and turn his life upside down when...

    Get skinny, get riding thread!

    I have just weighed myself after being in Rhodes for a week and have put on 0.5kg which I'm pretty happy about as sure it was going to be worse. I am going to do the 5:2 again as it worked ok for me last year. Just as diamonddogs I found it isn't a quick fix but slow and steady. I did my first...

    Get skinny, get riding thread!

    I'm in! I am 5'7 and weigh 12 stone. I don't even want to be that thin really, just get below 11. I need help/ motivation as I seem to stay around this weight, I am normally pretty fit and run but 6 weeks ago I was in a pretty bad car crash and have hardly done anything since then but I...
